Roofing safety is a top priority for any roofing company. Commercial buildings are particularly challenging due to their height and complex designs. It’s crucial to ensure that all employees are well-trained and equipped with the necessary safety gear to minimize accidents and injuries. 

TRIR and EMR are two metrics that determine the safety of a roofing company. We practice roof safety and employee training to help keep these numbers low so we can serve our customers effectively and keep our employees safe.

TRIR

One of the essential metrics for measuring a company’s safety record is the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). This metric takes into account all the incidents, including fatalities and injuries, and calculates them per 100 full-time workers. The lower the TRIR, the better the company’s safety record is.

EMR

Another metric that roofing companies should pay attention to is the Experience Modification Rate (EMR). This rate is a formula that compares a company’s workers’ compensation claims to other companies in the same industry. A lower EMR indicates a better safety record.

Improving Safety

We have implemented a comprehensive safety program that includes regular training sessions, safety audits, and hazard assessments. We provide our employees with the necessary safety equipment, such as harnesses and helmets, to ensure that they can perform their jobs safely.

We encourage employees to report any safety concerns or near-misses so that our management can evaluate the situation. Safety awareness is reinforced through regular safety meetings and corrective action for unsafe behavior.

Roofing safety is a critical aspect of our company’s operations, especially when it comes to commercial buildings. By implementing a comprehensive safety plan and measuring our TRIR and EMR, we can ensure the safety of our employees. A safety culture that encourages reporting and corrective action is also vital in creating a safe work environment.
